Together. Im grateful to have been and katrina and all of you for this wonderful most really full program and worthy of the David Stockman tradition. Anyway, when i was growing up on small town montana, pretty rural and a community picnic, one time, the sole timer who was a homesteader. We back when was reminiscing about the family farm in wisconsin, and i asked how come he moved out to montana . And he said, well, there was free land out here and land was 20 an acre back in wisconsin. So he said he came out here for free land, which was the most expensive land he ever bought. So this panel was a dream of mine. Amy lauter is going to talk about the free land, socalled free land and i ive been looking for years and my search of 19th century illustrated stereotypes or stereotype ups of. And we have a panelist today who has figured out how to get a handle on that, which i never did. And so im excited about that as well. Hes our second presenter. The john coward our third presenter is the
big ben strikes midnight. it s europe s biggest fireworks display and as the countdown began, more than 100,000 people watched along the river thames as the london skyline lit up and the sounds of big ben chimed. you can actually smell the gunpowder the air, you can smell it. it is fireworks night here. big ben, the chimes have rung and we are now officially in 202a. the best show on earth. amazing, indescribable, no words. so worth it, i am loving it so much. this is my first time for london, coming here and seeing this. i i love it, it is so good. this year s theme is unity, a message played from the king. 0ur society is woven from diverse threads. and the london mayor, who thanked those working in the nhs, the police and the fire service. he said the event took months to organise. we have planned this sincejuly. there is a team of 75 who have been working over the last four days. one of our strengths as a city and country is our diversity. we will be celebrating our dive

Apples billion dollar fund finds another investment fin asar surgeries on the news as apple builds on lasers and specialized chips. The fed is expected to raise Interest Rates again today as it concludes its twoday meeting. If so, it would be the third rate hike of the year.

Jonathan director of roosevelt house who is in albany this evening. So were very excited to have ken whyte here to talk about his biography of hoover. And also to have amity shlaes to interview him. This is not a house in Herbert Hoover historically or in the present day talked about often or usually too kindly. So one thing that i want to say about ken whyte in the introduction to his book says that indictment and advocacy shape and often overwhelm the story of the man, Herbert Hoover.

We met earlier in the franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt library on the second floor which is where Franklin Roosevelt met with prospective cabinet members after the 1932 election. I have a feeling

If you look an we did looking at colorado and miami, instead of having seven products like we have in l. A. , in denver they have 35 different silver products. In miami 35 and some of those products that are the cheapest premiums mean you dont get any care unless you satisfied a 3,000 deductible. Thats not good for consumers. I think its the right thing for consumers. Let me quickly note about getting access to care. We have some very early indicators that are very positive in california. There is a lot of discussion about narrow networks. Id note that virtually all of
